That, to me, is a sign of intelligence. No one is perfect but if we fail and continue to fail because we do not learn from our past failures, it's a pretty good sign that we have limited intelligence. Either that or too big of an ego - neither of which is good for the country. Another sign is not being open to differing opinions (something you seem to have a little problem with by the way you attacked me for no reason other than disagreeing with me). I truly hope you do not judge all people's intelligence by their SAT scores - you are missing out on meeting some very smart, interesting people that way.
Let me remind you of what you wrote in your first post:

Whew! I'm just glad he's not some radical born-again Christian! Really people, have we slid backwards so far under the current administration that we have no tolerance for anyone who is exactly like us (whatever "us" may be). Personally I don't care if the next president is Christian, Jewish, Buddist or Muslim as long as he isn't a raving nutcase like the one we have now. At least Mr. Obama appears to be intelligent - that alone would be a breath of fresh air.
If you did NOT mean to say that George W Bush is BOTH a "raving nutcase" and stupid, you need to do a better job of communicating what you think.


And for the record, I think Bush DID learn from the mistakes of the previous President. He did NOT sit idly by - getting blow-jobs - and winking at terrorist attacks. He KNEW that allowing them to happen, without retribution, would only lead to more.

Again, you've failed to prove - in any way - that Bush is stupid. I really think what you should do is just admit, up front, that you don't like him. Be honest about it. Don't say, "I don't like him because he's stupid." Say, "I think he's stupid because I don't like him.'
